Benefits of Zumba Fitness

​

It is a well known fact that exercise is essential for our physical and mental health.

The key is to find an type of exercise you that you enjoy, ideally LOVE.

If you enjoy it, you are more likely to stick to it and enjoy the long term benefits.

 

This is where Zumba Fitness comes it.
Many of us attend Zumba classes because they are so much FUN and easy to get into.
While we are having fun, we are actually doing our bodies and minds a lot of good.

 

Here are a few of the amazing benefits you can achieve by attending our Zumba classes in Tarragindi:

 

1. FUN- exercise in disguise:
We all know we need to exercise and stay active, but sometimes it's hard to get motivated. The fact that Zumba is FUN, means we don't need a lot of motivation to get to class.

All we need to do is get ourselves to class and let the music do the rest.

 

2. Calorie Burn/ Weight Loss:
Many of us wish to either lose weight or maintain our current weight. Although there are MANY factors that come into play when it comes to weight loss- the bottom line is that calories burnt have to be greater than calories consumed.

Zumba Fitness improves your cardiovascular system, which is extremely helpful in your fight to lose that unwanted weight. The average person will burn around 450-900 calories in one Zumba class (depending on your size and the intenstiy of your participation in class).
That’s quite a lot, by comparison, one hour of moderate walking, at 5km per hour, will only burn 200-300 calories.

 

3. Stress Relief and Happiness:
Zumba is perfect to get rid of all that stress you accumulate during the day. The upbeat music and moves help the release of those mood improving endorphins. After class you’ll surely feel your worries melt away and you'll leave class happier than you were when you walked in.
No matter what happened during the day - you'll feel better after Zumba.

 

4. Improved Coordination:
As we age it's very important to keep our minds active and keep good coordination. By doing different routines and by changing them on a regular basis, it forces our minds to engage and focus, which is an extra bonus of Zumba Fitness.

 

It's good to know that as we are having so much fun, we are actually contributing to our health and well-being.
So next time you find it hard to get off the couch... remember these benefits, just put your clothes on and get your body to class, the rest will happen by itself.
